Chapter 276 – Episode 276 – Magical Girl Appears!

◈-Lant SIDE

It’s fun.

It was a thought I had after reading Volume 5 of the Magical Girl Marine series Tikia-san lent me.

I want to read the next volume

Until volume 4, I was fighting various monsters while living a normal life, but I never thought that a rival character would appear in volume 5…

Besides, even though they are on the same side, they say that I can protect the world better.

It is the most suitable character for a very erotic delusion.

I want to see more tsundere characters who are tsundere or loose their minds.

It is because it can create the feeling of before and after the fall well.

Apart from that, I am also interested in the development of the story itself.

As I read, it was almost lunch time.

Since everyone packed their lunches, there is a high possibility that they will not come back after lunch.

I was curious about the next content, so I thought about going to the library, but…

If possible, I would like to borrow the book again from Mr. Tikia, who lent it to me.

Let’s go to the Adventurer’s Guild once.

Ms. Tikia might be there.

◈

I entered the adventurer’s guild and looked around.

But unfortunately, Mr. Tikia was not there.

After all, would it have been better to ask where you were staying yesterday?

If you’re Lenny, you might know.

“Mr. Lenny.”

“Hello, Mr. Rant. Are you planning to go to the dungeon today?”

“No, I stopped by once. Didn’t Mr. Tikia come by any chance?”

“Tikia-sama was looking for Rant-sama in the morning. First of all, I told you that Rant-sama’s party was a holiday today, and he stayed in the guild for a while and then left the guild.”

In the morning, Mr. Tikia must have found me.

Maybe after lending the book, I wanted to hear some impressions?

“Did you go to the dungeon?”

“Probably so. In fact… Tikia-sama said that Rant-sama was not there, so he talked to the other avant-garde adventurers.”

Tikia must have been trying to find a party as I told her.

“Really? Then it looks like you organized a party.”

“No. Unfortunately, no one wanted to party with Tikia.”

“Huh? Anybody?”

“Yes. It seems that you just became an adventurer yesterday, and you do not have enough trust in Tikia-sama’s appearance of him.”

If you looked at Tikia-san’s skills, you wouldn’t have said that… I was the only one who saw Tikia-san’s skills.

Certainly, in addition to Tikia-san’s cute outfit, there is not much credibility in her career that she has just become an F rank.

Even with the same F rank, there must be adventurers who still can’t get out of the first floor…

Besides, from a rough look at Tikia-san’s magic her, it was probably powerful enough to deal with monsters on the 8th floor.

If you get promoted, the amount of magic power will increase, so you can aim for a higher floor.

Even Tikia-san with such skills… It was not easy to find his teammates unless he saw his own skills.

Hmmm, next time we meet Tikia-san, let’s help save the vanguard.

No, if I go out, other adventurers might look at me and feel awkward, so should I ask Noah or Niña?

“Ah, this is Tikia.”

At that time, Lenny looked behind me and said.

“Yes?”

I looked back.

“Haha…”

With a rough breath, should I say slime slime all over my clothes?

There was Mr. Tikia, whose body was buried.

“Mr. Tikia?”

“Rant…”

I quickly approached Mr. Tikia.

Looking closely, it seemed that the stickiness was very severe.

Fortunately, there are no injuries, but he looks very tired.

If the slime on your clothes was white, it would be very erotic.

“How have you been?”

“Ah… That’s it. I’ll report it first. Let’s talk a little later.”

“Yes.”

Tikia first walked to where Lenny was.

“We’ve eliminated the slime. The body of the slime… Can we take it to the warehouse? There’s also a magic stone…”

“Yes, you can take the body of the slime to the warehouse. Magic stones… It would be better to exchange them at the moneychanger rather than at the guild.”

“Huh? But yesterday I handed it along with the goblin corpse.”

“Yes. But basically, Tikia-nim is better off exchanging magic stones at the moneychanger.

Oh, come to think of it, I’m so used to it that I forgot that it’s more profitable to exchange magic stones at a currency exchange.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Tikia. Stop it as usual…”

Tikia shook her head as if nothing was wrong.

“No, it’s okay. I told you that Rant told me to use the inventory and leave it. It’s a magic stone, so it’s a little less expensive, but instead, I’ve learned how to calculate the material for the monster’s corpse at once instead of selling it separately.”

I didn’t explain the benefits of that.

When I thought about it again, there was such a benefit if I entrusted the whole body to the guild.

As expected, the genius magical girl, Tikia.

You have a very deep understanding.

When Mr. Tikia finishes reporting to Mr. Lenny, she goes to the warehouse and she entrusts Mr. Kelvan with the body of the slime.

As for the magic stone, she says she takes it out and exchanges it the next time she stops by the exchange office.

Before leaving the warehouse, I spoke to Mr. Tikia.

“Mr. Tikia.”

“Why, Rant?”

“Can I remove the slime from your clothes?”

“Ah… Yes, please.”

“Excuse me.”

I knelt down and yapped with both hands as I removed the slime from Tikia’s clothes on her.

There was a slight stain where it was removed.

“Oh, it’s stained.”

“It’s okay. If you apply heat to this level with magic, it will dry quickly.”

Mr. Tikia held up her stick and said.

“Warm win… De. Uh…”

She was about to collapse when Mr. Tikia, who was about to cast a spell, suddenly lost her strength.

I urgently supported Tikia’s body hers.

“Gwa, are you okay, Mr. Tikia?!”

“Sorry…”

After Mr. Tikia apologized to me…

Growl.

A cute sound came from Tikia’s stomach.

Hwaaaaak

Tikia’s face turned red.

“I have almost no magic power and I’m hungry…”

It must have been quite active in catching slimes on the second floor.

“Tikia, let’s go eat. I’ll buy it for you.”

I also want to personally reward myself for letting the guild entrust the corpse and magic stone together, as is my custom.

“It’s okay. I can pay for my meal…”

“It’s because I wanted to buy it for Tikia. First, let’s go eat.”

Growl…

Another hungry signal sounded from Tikia’s stomach.

“…Yes.”

I headed to the restaurant where Kevin was with Tikia.

◈-Tikia SIDE

It was nice to go to the second floor of the dungeon.

The second floor was safe anyway, so I thought it would be okay to be alone.

I walked through the meadow alone to a place where there were not many other adventurers.

Then, he tested the original magic against the slimes around him to vent his anger.

The slimes took my magic without resistance and lost their lives as their cores were destroyed.

However, if a magic with a large range was used, the magic stone was broken along with the core.

After shooting 3 Twinkle Buster to lighten the mood, he took out only one Twinkle Stars and fired stars like a thief throwing a dagger.

When there were no slimes around, he moved forward and used magic to hunt slimes.

It was tedious and repetitive work, but I liked the feeling of slowly completing the achievement.

However, as he continued to cast magic, his mana began to run out.

Slimes don’t attack first anyway, so you can sit back and meditate.

With that in mind, I sat down and started meditating.

But that was a fatal mistake.

Procrastinate

When I closed my eyes during a 10-minute meditation, I was so caught off guard.

Who would have known that a giant slime would come to my side?

As a genius, I have great concentration, so once I concentrate, I can hardly hear the surrounding sounds.

So that.

Quo~~ water.

I ended up meditating until a giant slime stuffed me inside.

“Pogeul pogeul pogeul eugh!?”

The inside of a giant slime that covers the entire body.

If I stayed still, I would have suffocated.

“Aww!!”

I hurriedly sent magic to my staff and used the flame magic as quickly as possible with the shadowless spear.

I couldn’t afford to adjust my magic power in a sudden situation, so I put the maximum amount of magic power in my mind that I had to blow this huge slime away first.

Woooooh!

The huge slime exploded with instantaneous firepower, and I was able to get out of the huge slime.

“Collock! Coke! Lord, I thought I was going to die…”

Colleagues dear!

Real need!

Those words filled her mind.

The huge slime that swallowed me shattered all the cores and magic stones due to my magic.

The corpses were scattered all over the place… I didn’t even want to get close to the corpse of the slime that almost killed me.

“Uh…”

In addition, due to the sudden operation of mana, most of the mana he had accumulated through meditation was used up.

And I didn’t want to be on the floor where I was about to die.

“Let’s go back…”

Even geniuses die if they are careless.

I was acutely aware of that fact.

When he arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild with a mentally exhausted body, Rant was there.

“Mr. Tikia?”

As soon as Rant saw me, he ran right over and cared about me.

It was like a puppy caring for its owner.

… Why do I only feel that way when I see Rant?

Anyway, it is true that Rant is nice.

I’m even apologizing for letting me know that yesterday’s exchange method was not normal.

Actually, if it’s a goblin, it’s not even that much of a loss, but rather, I can handle the reloading price at once without bothering with the inventory, so the Rant just gave me a benefit.

After going to the warehouse and disposing of the body, Lant quickly removed the slime bits from my clothes.

It was stained, so I tried to use magic to dry it, but…

When I tried to use my magic power, my body didn’t work well.

Fortunately, Lant accepted me as I was about to collapse.

Lant’s hands are really big…

And then a shameful thing happened.

Growl

At this time, I shouted to my stomach in my heart that I should endure no matter how hungry I am.

It was very embarrassing.

Rant offered to pack me some food.

No, how nice you are.

He tried to decline, but Rant said he wanted to buy it.

Another growl and a sound echoed from the stomach.

Whether it was shot by Rant or bought by me, I nodded my head, wanting to quickly get rid of the cause of this stomach noise.

And I followed Rant to a restaurant.

Yes, a restaurant.

But the restaurant was nothing short of a high-end restaurant.

Uh? What is this?

Is it normal to invite a woman you met for the first time yesterday to a place like this, no matter how nice you are?

Are you looking for me?

Does Rant actually prefer a young appearance?

Or maybe he was a man who noticed the charm of an adult radiating from me?

It’s just such a question.

“Ah, Mr. Rant!”

“Hello, Mr. Kevin.”

Besides, when Lant came in, the man who looked like a waiter went straight into the kitchen, and the man who looked like a cook came running.

Uh huh?

Are you a VIP?

Actually, isn’t Rant an aristocrat who is an adventurer as a hobby?

He said he was from a rural village…

Isn’t he actually an aristocrat living in the countryside?

Lant and I sat at the seats the cook had ushered in.

“Tikia, what kind of food do you want to eat?”

“Huh? I-I…”

I looked at the menu once.

… It’s usually expensive.

It’s an upscale restaurant.

Are you really going to shoot me these foods?

After all, am I walking to work?

Does that mean hmm, rae, that Rant is interested in me?

Somehow I didn’t feel bad.

Until now, I was only treated with envy, jealousy, or being treated as a child…

I hope you get an approach like this.

No no no, let’s not misunderstand!

Maybe Rant is just super nice!

Yes, like the childhood friend who innocently helps Marin in Volume 7 of the Magical Girl Marine series!

… However, there is also a setting that that childhood friend actually secretly likes Marin.

Uh, how can I accept it!?

“Mr. Tikia?”

“Yes?!”

“Are you worried about what to eat?”

“Ah… Uh, yes! They all look delicious.”

“Because all the food at Kevin’s restaurant is delicious.”

“Thank you, Rant.”

“No, it’s true. Oh, Mr. Tikia, why don’t you try these first? I tried them the other day and they were delicious.”

“Ah… That, that’s right. Then that’s it.”

I chose the food recommended by Rant.

“Then give me two servings with this.”

“All right.”

The cook went straight into the kitchen.

Rant is looking straight at me.

It is not ridicule, envy, jealousy, or looking at a child, it is just a look at myself innocently.

It’s an unfamiliar look.

It is a look that tickles the spine.

Let’s say something

It would be weird if I just stayed silent like this.

“That…”

“Mr. Tikia.”

“Uh, yes! Why?”

“If you don’t mind…”

If you don’t mind… ?

Are you asking me to date you?

Isn’t Jin too fast?

Is it like love at first sight?

Uh? Really?

No, I also think that Rant’s first impression isn’t bad, it’s very good, but it’s embarrassing to suddenly do that.

Getting to know each other more…

“Can you tell me what happened on the second floor?”

… It was a normal thing to say out of concern for me.

I want to die of shame
